"Usually I'm not doing courses review but this time I will make an exception. During time I took a lot of trainings but very few provided by Udemy proved as having the right approach in teaching the audience. I will mark this one as being one of my personal top three best trainings as content's quality, technical explanations, and additional learning materials perspective. Long story short this course is a very simple, straight forward way of learning Python for managing IT networks."by Johnny Stanescu

Python (2.7.3) programming course aimed not only at network professionals, but at anyone having little or no experience in coding and a great desire to
start learning Python from scratch. This hands-on training takes you
from "Hello World!" to complex network applications in less than 15 hours.

"I've tried learning from the books & multiple videos - most were too basic to make a practical app. Some books were too thick and made me sleep. But still none of the materials had the perfect balance like this course where all the basics were covered, instructions were concise, and Mihai walks you through how to create 5 practical apps step by step. I've also tried reading some advanced python book which didn't make sense because it was too advanced. Let me tell you, this is hands down "that course that takes you up to beyond the basics" to bridge you to the advance topics. Right now I'm hitting the advanced topics and it finally makes sense..." by Joon Park

"As always for learning programming language I would always recommend going through a well rated tutorial video lecture series than going through a 1000 page text. A well designed course can impart knowledge at a much faster rate and with less effort from the listener. Of course the course has to fantastically designed. And this course is just that, that lectures are easy to comprehend, the concepts are thoroughly learnt using simple & effective examples. So I highly recommend this course." by Musarrat Rahman

During this course you will learn Python concepts which are relevant to your networking job and
build some amazing tools:

"I've been doing many Python courses, but till now this is the best by far. Very self paced, Mihai explains each step in a very simple manner that any beginner could understand. The courses approach for me is the best. Very oriented to real application development. Very good, would recommend to anyone beginning in python." by Felipe

"I have been programming since 1978 and wanted to learn python. I have had no java or OOP experience, and I tried several 'paper' tutorials but got little out of them. The first part of this course is a steady walk through the Python language at just the right speed. The instructor seems to touch all the basis in a logical and methodical way while providing examples and explanations. I can only conclude the instructor is a professional educator who spent considerable time structuring and organizing the course. The result is evident. THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO LEARN PYTHON!" by Larry Laswell

First, you will learn and practice
every Python key concept, which is explained in one or more video lectures, followed by a short quiz. Each video is filled with relevant examples, in a
learn-by-doing fashion and the quizzes will help you consolidate the main ideas behind each Python topic.

After laying the foundation (and also exploring some
advanced Python topics), you will dive right into the
real-life networking scenarios and apply your knowledge to
build 7 great network tools.

"There is no major prerequisite and the material is hand-on from the go. Besides new lectures are being uploaded in response to suggestions and discussions." by Zafar Iqbal

Equipped with working files, network topologies and
Python code samples (
in .txt and .py formats), you will be able to work alongside me on each lecture and each application. I will provide a virtual machine with all the Python modules already installed and also the full code for each application, so you can save time and start coding and testing on the spot.

We will use emulated routers in GNS3 to
test our Python apps in a network environment, so you can see the actual results of running your code.

I encourage you to learn Python, an
amazingly beginner-friendly programming language and take your (networking) job to a higher level of automation.

"I've seen the blueprint and some demo videos and I was convinced right away. Without a doubt, it's one of the best trainings a network engineer can have. It gives you actual valuable and marketable skills that you can use in your daily job. Mihai explains the topics really well, with practical examples making it a fun way to learn. Highly recommended."by Vlad Vlaicu

"This is a great course for network
engineers who would like to start automating their tasks. Geared towards
beginners, this course teaches the fundamentals of programming and
applying those concepts to networking. There is a lot of fluff about
python on the internet, however the instructor managed to put together
the necessary information to start automating the network. A working
knowledge of TCP/IP is needed to get the most out of this course. Should
you understand every lecture, you will be ready to start writing your
own scripts according to your needs. In particular, I loved the use of
scapy, an amazing tool which should be in the arsenal of anyone working
with TCP/IP."

Your GNS3 Academy Instructor

Mihai Catalin Teodosiu

Hi! My name is Mihai. I have a degree in Telecommunications and Information Technology from University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania and also the CCNP,CCNA,CCDA, JNCIA and ISTQB CTFL certifications.

I worked as a Network Quality Assurance Engineer since 2010, testing the OS for Nortel/Avaya L3 switches.

# 6+ years experience in the Networking and Testing/Quality Assurance industries.

"Excellent material. Kudos to a great instructor with a vast level of creativity."by Anthony W.

"I can say this man is going on smoothly and perfectly, explaining in the most empirical/foundational way."by Kolapo A.

In early 2014 I decided to start learning a programming language that can make my daily work easier and also boost my networking career. This is when I discovered that Python, being a great language for beginners, can help me write some scripts that connect to network devices and perform various tasks I was doing manually, thus saving a lot of time. Also, working as a tester, I used Python to automate a lot of network tests, about 250, in a short period of time, again reducing my workload.

For all the above reasons and because there is a lot of Python material out there on the Internet that may seem discouraging for you as a beginner, I decided to build courses that take you from zero programming knowledge to advanced topics, all in a hands-on fashion.

In March 2015 I started working on my first course, "Python Network Programming - Part 1: Build 7 Python Apps", without really knowing what is online education all about and with no prior teaching experience, either online or offline. I just wanted to try it for some reason, despite a lot of mental obstacles, a full time job and zero experience in teaching people.

I worked a lot on this first course, with countless hours of researching, recording and editing, but there was something that kept me going further. In May 2015 my course was approved by Udemy and was an instant success, despite my low expectations. Gradually, the course became a bestseller on other e-learning platforms, as well. One example I'm very proud of is the GNS3 Academy.

In April 2016, I finished working on Part 2 of the Python Network Programming series, called "Multivendor Environment", after about three months of researching, testing, summarizing, simplifying, recording, editing and structuring the course content.

Finally, in September 2016, I released Part 3 of this amazing course series, called "Python Network Programming - Part 3: Scapy & Security Tools", which in my opinion is very interesting and exciting for anyone wanting to enter the world of network security in a 100% hands-on fashion.

I am really putting a lot of energy and effort into each of my courses and I am always trying (and succeeding) to pay special attention to the smallest details and provide a lot of value to my students.

I really think my courses will get better and better, both by learning from my mistakes and carefully listening to the feedback I get from my students.

You will have instant and free access to any updates I'll add to the course.

Do I have to install Linux, Python, MySQL and all the necessary modules before starting the course?

No. I will provide you with a link from where you can download a virtual machine with all of them included and ready to be imported into VirtualBox. Also, I will provide all the VirtualBox installation, configuration, GNS3 integration and troubleshooting info in Section 2 of the course.
